Hi 👋 I'm Michelle!
A creative at heart and a mama of two under two, I've always chosen roles that allow me to express myself artistically and minister to others. A photographer and producer in my pre-mama life, I stumbled onto DNA jewelry when I was looking for a special way to commemorate both the passing of my grandfather and also the surprise end of my first breastfeeding journey (we had a second one on the way and the milk supply disappeared)!
I'm the one-woman show behind Jars of Clay Keepsakes and I personally handmake each piece for you. As someone who's always been in roles requiring precision in detail, know that your piece will be made with the utmost care.
I'm so honoured to be the person you trust to create your precious keepsake. Thank you for supporting this small business dream!!


Why "Jars of Clay"?
The company name comes from a passage in 2nd Corinthians 4:6-9 in the Bible. To me, whenever I read this passage, I see a broken jar with a light shining from inside it. That always represented me, and Christ's light shines through my brokenness; our brokenness. My hope in making these keepsakes is that whether it's being made to represent a good memory or a bittersweet one, that they can bring some light and joy in a season that may not usually have it. A light in the darkness.
